DEDICATION 

To the memory of my loving mother, who departed 
this life on March 1, 1887, at whose knees I sat as 
a child and listened to many a recountal of the heroic 
struggles and vicissitudes of her early Hamrick 
ancestors whose exploits and undertakings account, 
in a large measure, for the sterling citizenship and 
well-founded progress of this immediate section, this 
book is respectfully and lovingly dedicated. 



PKEFACE 

The author wishes to thus assure the readers of this work that he 
has made no effort to invite fame nor has he undertaken the 
furtherance of the art of authorship — rather it has been his in the 
compilation of data, facts and figures to give the direct and diverse 
ramifications of the several Hamrick generations and to show the 
honest strivings of them as early settlers and hardy pioneers. 

'No attempt has been made to perpetuate the fame of this great 
family in song and story rather the author has \vritten, in plain and 
unpolished words, their rugged history. After all what could be 
more eloquent than the simple and hardy annals of the forebears of 
an honest and prosperous commonwealth whose efforts at building 
a sturdy citizenship have prevailed. 

Then too, no community is greater than the noble traditions and 
sentiments which it cherishes; so likewise is it with the individual. 
Wherefore, the writer prays the reader's leniency only as to gram- 
matical construction for no apology is needed and none is offered 
for the record of achievements of the several generations herein 
enumerated. 

Pardon is requested at this juncture for a personal allusion to the 
author : The author is by no means a finished scholar having attended 
the old field schools but a few. months all told and going only at rare 
intervals, but in those rugged log temples — really monuments to the 
early efforts of each community's foremost educators — he at least 
learned the value of an education and was inspired to continue his 
eager search of knowledge. Those facts being true the author has 
made no pretention at preempting the field of the rhetorician nor has 
he given his personal opinions ; he has given the facts and the word- 
history as handed down. With these prefatory facts ever before you 
it is asked of you that you read the book with an eye single to 
acquisition of historical fact rather than grammatical precision. 

S. C. Jones. 



HAMRICK GENERATIONS 



The purpose of this book is to show the future generations the 
genealogy of the Hamrick Family. The Hamrieks are of German 
descent yet in their vein^ today flows the blood of the Irish, Scotch- 
Irish, English and French. So it is hard to tell what are the leading 
characteristics of this people ; whether the stubbornness of the Scotch, 
the quick temper of the Irish or the lack of humor of the English. 
The spirit of the Hamrick of today has given him traits which char- 
acterize him as a law abiding, peace loving citizen. The Hamrieks 
are like the children of Israel, they too cannot be numbered by multi- 
tudes. The Children of Israel were like the sands of the sea, they 
could not be numbered by multitudes, just so with the Hamrieks. In 
almost every state in the union the Hamrieks are found ; some are 
farmers, some are lawyers, doctors, manufacturers, merchants, jew- 
elers, school teachers both in public and private schools, electricians, 
magistrates, legislators, congTessmen, judges, preachers, and in fact 
in everv pursuit vou find the Hamrieks enaao-ed. 

The Hamrieks came to America in 1731. George Hamrick left 
Germany on account of his religion as he was not allowed to worship 
God according to the dictates of his ov»-n conscience, none daring to 
molest or make him afraid. He was a predestinarian Baptist or 
what we call the Primitive or Hard Shell Baptist and I have it from 
the lips of Old Uncle Berry Hamrick that all of the old set of Ham- 
rieks were Primitive Baptists and but few of them ever joined the 
church but all of them were ready and able to give a good reason for 
their hope of a better world beyond this vale of tears. The Hamrieks 
are generally fond of out door life and are among the best farmers 
of the land today. Some are poor and some are good livers while 
others are rich, or what we call rich people in the South. Physically 
they are strong and hearty ; mentally they are among the highest order 



10 History of the Hamrick Generations 

of the land. It has been repeatedly published that if yon marry 
kinspeople that your offspring will be deaf, dumb, lame and blind, 
also mentally weak. If this be true then I make the assertion that 
there is not a Hamrick in all the land who would have sense enough 
to go to the mill and back by himself. Eighty per cent of the Ham- 
rick generation have married their kin from the time they crossed the 
water. In olden times when a man went to look out a bride for him- 
self the Lord told him plainly to go among his own kin, even his 
first cousins and we have the same God today that we had thousands 
of years ago. I have searched all the court records and I have only 
found six of this large generation ever indicted in the criminal court. 
They are honest, law abiding people. Old David Webb once said 
that he was not afraid to sell goods to a Hamrick on credit and so 
instructed his son Hatcher to sell anything to the Hamricks on time 
and without mortgage. I have found some Hamricks who say they 
are not related to the other set of Hamricks "just across the river." 
I have searched the records and they show that only one Hamrick 
ever crossed the water. He left Germany in the year 1730 and 
landed at Philadelphia, Pa., in 1731, being seven months on the 
waters. He sailed from Rotterdam, Holland. The original name 
was Homrick, but today we spell it Hamrick. Xow the Hamricks in- 
clude and contemplate the Greens, the Blantons, the Bridges, Har- 
rells, McSwains, Champions, Washburns, Wrays, Suttles, Bosticks, 
Ledbetters, Doggetts, Conners, Hughes, Magnesses, McBrayers, 
Webbs, Lovelaces and Williamsons. I don't think you will find any 
better people than found in tliis large generation of people. It has 
been in my mind for many years to write a history of the Hamrick 
generations or family, but I did not think then that they covered the 
land as water covers the sea. When I was young my dear mother 
would sit and tell all about her kin people and my grandmother, 
Peggy Hamrick, as she was called, would sit till midnight and tell 
all about her relatives. Neither of them had much education but 
very retentive minds and could tell one all about their family history. 
I have sat and heard iheiu talk till 1 thought everybody was related to 
them but I never experienced it till I began getting up this record. 



History of the Hamrick Generations 11 

I have a small book iu which I began to take notes as long ago as 1870 
and I had kept getting up a few more facts here and there until 1910. 
I went to work at this book with the intention of getting up this 
record of the Hamrick family but if I had known then what I do now 
I would never have undertaken the task. This has been one of the 
most stupendous jobs I have ever undertaken. I have made two 
trips to Washington and four trips to Raleigh and have searched all 
records to find out this family and I am just now to "baker." 

Old Aunt "Sookie" Hamrick, as she was called, gave me a great 
deal of information about the Hamricks. Her name was Susanna 
Hamrick but they called her "Sookie" as a nickname, Leander Ham- 
rick has been a great help to me in this work also his brothers, John 
and Sidney. James Y. Hamrick, now dead, was also of great benefit 
to me, as ho had a fine memorv which enabled him to tell all about 
his relatives. But I owe the greatest part of my help to one whom I 
dearly loved, to-wit. Old Uncle Berry Hamrick. I have sat for days 
at a time and asked him many questions about the Hamrick genera- 
tions: He could sit and tell one something new about them all the 
time and all about whom they married and where they settled. He 
said he had visited every old Hamrick who had ever come to this part 
of the country and he could tell one just what kind of a house each 
lived in and all about how they farmed. Uncle Berry lived to be 
ninety-eighi years old and had a splendid memory especially as to his 
kin-people. The early Hamrick houses were made of logs and 
daubed with mud with two doors and two windows. One window at 
the fire place and the other at the back end of the house. Some had 
what they called double cabins or two houses built together, with the 
chimneys reaching from one side of the house to the other or nearly 
so. They w^ere generally from eight to ten feet wide and provided 
with w'hat was called a pot rack, a pole up in the chimney to hang a 
pot on. Uncle Berry Hamrick said that many of their houses had 
no floors as there were no saw mills in this countrv at that time. A 
great many of their houses had no shutters and the doors were filled 
with logs and poles to keep out the wild animals of which there were

History of the Hameick Generations 13 

a great many in those days. Some of them kept a fire all night in or- 
der to keep the wild animals from entering their houses. 

When George Hamrick left Germany he was an officer under the 
Kaiser, something on the order of Examiner of Passports for those 
going or coming across the ocean. Dr. W. C. Hamrick, of Gaffney, 
S. C, has several letters stating that there is a large sum of money in 
Germany for the heirs of one George Hamrick who left there about 
the same time George Hamrick came to this country, but there is no 
credence to be to be put in such idle reports. This George Hamrick 
settled in what is now known as Germantown, Pa., and there is at that 
place a monument marking his last resting place. He was the father 
of twenty-four children but I have failed so far to get more than 
seventeen of them and this book contemplates only three of them. 
ISFow I will give some of their names which are as follows: George, 
David, william, Moses, Thomas, John, Elijah, Greenberry, James, 
Reuben, Jane, Susanna, Hannah, Rebecca^, Mollie, Mary, Sarah and 
Benjamin. Three of his boys settled in Virginia their names were 
Moses Richard, George and Banjamin. They died and were buried 
in Virgina but most of their children came to l^orth Carolina about 
the year 1765. 

Benjamin's people all went on to Georgia and Alabama about the 
year 1830. Most all of Moses Richard's people went to Georgia and 
Alabama and some further West. 

The Hamricks came here before there was any county as the records 
show that Trvoii Countv was formed in 1769, four years after thev 
arrived. A great many of the Hamricks left here about 1830, or 
later. The Hamricks, Blantons, Greens, Bridges, Champions, Wash- 
burns, Bowens, McSwains all came across the ocean with George Ham- 
rick. The Blantons are of English descent, George Blanton was 
the first Blanton that ever crossed the ocean. Gabriel Washburn was 
from Germany, Henry Green came from England, Housand Harrell 
came also from England, William Champion was from France. 

ISTow I will give as nearly as possible the places where these people 



14 HlSTORT OF THE HaMRICK GENERATIONS 



settled, and where thej were buried. I think it would be a good thing 
to have a meeting some time in the future and pay some respect to our 
beloved dead, as they were the pioneers and founders of this g-reat 
section. I have visited all of the old graves of all these people men- 
tioned above. There have been from 'seven to ten generations count- 
ing those that have passed away and those still living. 

Samuel Hamrick entered land in 1797, one-half mile from Mt. 
Sinai Church and settled about two hundred yards from the old 
-McSwain grave yard. In 1814 he entered land one-half mile east 
of Boiling Springs Church, just where George Eobertson Hamrick 
lives. He was buried at what is known as the Katie Hamrick old 
place, two miles east of Boiling Springs Church. 

James Hamrick, his brother, entered land at what is kno^\ai as the 
Katie Hamrick old place in the year 1795, also in 1800. 

Jones Hamrick entered lands at what is known as the Dr. Miller 
old place on the west side of First Broad river. He was brother to 
James and Samuel Hamrick. Jones went West about the year 1830. 

Frederick Hamrick entered land in 1800 near the present Patterson 
Station. He went West about the year 1830. He was a brother to 
James and Samuel Hamrick. 

Price Hamrick entered land in 1797, five miles west of Selby on 
what is now known as the Dock F. McSwain old place and was buried 
at the same place. His brother, Enoch Hamrick, entered land m 
1800 on the west side of First Board river where Esley Davis once 
lived. He was buried down the river not far from William Latti- 
more's. 

Nathaniel Hamrick entered land in 1797 on the waters of Hickory 
creek and First Broad river. This land is now owned by Major Sam 
Green. Nathaniel was buried at Old Buffalo Church, York, S. C. 
He was a brother to Price Hamrick. 

Jeremiah Hamrick entered land just below the mouth of Hickory 



HlSTOEY OF THE HaMRICK GENERATIONS 15 

creek on the east side of First Broad river. He went to Alabama 
about the year 1830. He was also a brother to Price Hamrick. 

Henry Haini-ick entered land on what is known as Bowen's river, 
just on the east side of the stream and now owned by John Crawford. 
He was buried at Buffalo Church, York, S. C. 

Yelverton Hamrick entered land near Patterson Station and went 
West about the year 1830. He was also a brother to Price Hamrick. 

David McSwain came from Scotland and settled near the McSwain 
old grave yard on the east side of First Broad river at what is now 
known as the Buck McSwain old place. He was the first white per- 
son buried in this part of the country. He was buried at the Mc- 
Swain old grave yard. 

N^ext I shall tell how Bowen's river got its name. The Hamricks 
and Bowens camped on the river the first night they came into this 
country and Minor Bowen gave this creek the name of Bowen's river. 
He gave nicknames to all people and places. This river heads in 
Earl Station and runs south and empties into Main Broad river just 
below Buffalo Church, York, S. C. 

Minor Bowen settled on the west side of this river and just oppo- 
site where Henry Hamrick settled. 

George Blanton entered land on the west side of Sandy Eun creek, 
two and one-half miles southeast of Boiling Springs church. He 
married Elvira Lee and was buried at his old place. He was the first 
Justice of Peace in Try on county appointed by King George of Eng- 
land on JSTovember 10th, 1769, the year the county was formed. 
Tryon county reached from the Virginia line and ran southwest to 
about where Charlotte is now located. It struck the main Broad river 
where the two states now join. All of this western country was Tryon 
county. 

Gabriel Washburn entered land in Burke county but later moved 
to Eutherford county in 1820. He married Priscilla McSwain and 
was buried on the Berryman McSwain old farm. 



16 History of the Hamrick Generations 

Isaac Robertson entered land on the west side of Grogg creek near 

the Dock Rollins old place. He married Rebecca House and she 

made a trip every year to Virginia to see her people, walking there 
and back. At one time her sister came home with her and while 

here took sick and died and was buried at the Isaac Robertson old 
place. The heirs of Isaac Robertson raised money to put up a monu- 
ment at his grave. Isaac Robertson was a Revolutionary soldier and 
belonged to Sharp's Company. 

All of the Elijah Hamrick and Avife Margaret McSwain children 
are eligible to join the Daughters of the Revolution through Isaac 
Robertson lineage. Margaret Hamrick's mother was Catherine Rob- 
ertson, daughter of Isaac Robertson. 

All of Moses Hamrick's people can join the Daughters of the Revo- 
lution through Isaac Robertson, as Moses Hamrick married Sarah 
Robertson, Isaac's daughter. 

Henry Green came here with the Hamricks and married Nanc^y 
Reaves. He settled not far from Boiling Springs. Housand Har- 
rell settled on the east side of Beaver Dam creek, one mile north- 
west of Beaver Dam church, on the north side of the Rutherford 
and Shelby road just below the Bill Bowen place and was bviried 
at the Aletha Green place, near Ellenboro. He was elected to the 
Legislature from Rutherford county in 1804 and rode horseback to 
Raleigh and there bought his first saddle. He married Delphia 
Street. 

William Champion settled on the east side of Main Broad river 
just below the mouth of Sandy Run creek. He married Mollie Ham- 
rick and was buried at his old home place. 

James Bridges settled one mile North of Mount Sinai church at 
what is now known as the Rufus Hamrick old place and was buried 
three hundred yards north of liis old ])lacc. He was one of the first 
deacons of Buffalo Church. He mai-ried Rebecca Hamrick. 

William ^FcSwain mnrriod Susanna TTnmrick and settled near his 



History of the Hameick Generations 17 

father, David, on the east side of First Broad river. He was buried at 
the McSwain old grave yard. His son, William, married Jnda 
Moore. He served in the Revolutionary War in Brevard's Company. 
All of his descendants can join the Daughters of the Revolution 
through him. I do hope his descendants will erect a monument to his 
memory. What a nice thing it would be if the people would erect 
some monument to the last resting place of all these old settlers who 
first came into this country. Parenthetically I remind that I have 
traveled several thousand miles, mostly a foot, from house to house, 
spending several hundred dollars in getting up this work, but if I 
never pi'ofit further than that of having the satisfaction of having 
written the history of this great family's achievements I shall be 
content. 

'Now we have nineteen of the different families of this and 
Rutherford county. These people are among the very best in both 
counties. You may search the world over and you will not find any 
better people and as few backward ones in all the land. I have 
searched the court records and found but few of all these people who 
had any trouble with the courts. 

Next I will write of the Blantons. They are good law abiding 
citizens and are among the very best people of this country. It is 
seldom you see their names in any court proceedings except when pre- 
scribed by business ends. They are good farmers and very thrifty in 
all their business affairs and undertakings. 

The McSwains who are very numerous are very good farmers and 
law abiding citizens. One never sees their names in court unless per- 
chance it is to obtain some right prescribed by law. They practice 
attending to their own affairs as much so as any family of people in 
the land. 

Then there are the Greens. They are good honest people. Good 
farmers and law abiding and peace loving citizens. We should not 
look on the faults of one or two persons and judge the others by their 
2 



18 History of the Hamrick Generations 



conduct but I am speaking of all these people as a whole, their record 
as a family is inspiring. 

l^ext the Bridges. They are good people, good farmers and law 
abiding citizens, honest in all their dealings with mankind. I only- 
found one or two bv the name who have figured in the courts. 

Then we take up the Champions. Thev, too, are good people and 
it is seldom you see their names in the court records. They are good 
farmers, honest and upright in their dealings with their fello^vman. 
Some of the old set were of very decided temperaments, but as a whole 
they are good people, doing well their parts. 

The Wrays are also very good people and are among the best peo- 
ple in the country. I don't think I found a single Wray who had 
had any trouble in the courts. They are honest, sober and good 
farmers. 

Then we take up the Suttles and we find them to be very fine people, 
honest in all their dealings, peace loving and law abiding citizens. 
They are among the best people of this country. 

Then here is the Bostic family. Tliey arc very good people al- 
though there are not many farmers among them, nevertheless they 
seem to be inclined towards serving the public. They are honest 
and upright in their dealings, law abiding and peace loving citizens. 

The Harrells are also very good people and I never found an}' of 
them in court trouble. Some of them are verv 2:ood farmers but taken 
as a whole Ihey like public service and business life. 

Then we take up the "Washburn family. They are all very good 
people and have among them some very good farmers, but they, too, 
are inclined to be public men. They are honest and one seldom finds 
their names on the criminal docket. 

Tlien come the Connors. ]\rost of these people are inclined to be 
farmers and are among our very best people. They give the courts 
very little trouble. This speaks well for any family. 



History of the Hamrick Generations 19 



;N^ext we take up the Magness family. These are good, h^w abid- 
ing, people, honest and thrifty and boasting but few farmers. 

Then we take up the Mathenys and we find them to be among the 
very best people of the land, honest iu all their dealings and good 
farmers. This history covers every Matheny that ever came to this 
country. They are of Irish descent. 

'Next we speak of the Hughes. We find them good people and I 
never found but one of this name who ever gave the courts any 
trouble. They are mostly farmers yet we find some of them engaged 
in publixj works. 

Then we take up the McBrayer family. We find them to be among 
the best people of this country. They are law abiding and peace 
loving people. They seem to be inclined as a whole to public life 
rather than to the farm, though some of them are successful farmers. 

Xext comes the Webbs. We find them among our very best people. 
They also seem to be inclined to public service rather than to the 
farm. I have never found anv of their names on the criminal docket, 
althoua'h the name boasts some of the state's leadino- iurists. 

Then we take up the Lovelaces. These people are mostly inclined 
to farming and yet we see some of them in public life. They are 
good people, honest in all their dealings, and I never found but a few 
of them on the criminal docket. 

Then we take up the Williamsons and v/e find most of them farmers. 
They are among the very best people of the land. I never found 
many of the name on the criminal docket ; they are kind and neigh- 
borly. 

Then we take up the Doggetts and we find them good, law abiding 
and peace loving people, yet we find very few farmers among them, 
though they seem possessed lovers of stock and stock-trading. 

Then we take up the Byers family, for nearly all of them are in 
this history. They are good people, law abiding and peace loving, yet 



20 History of the Hamrick Generations 



there are few farmers among tliem. Some liave been public office 
holders. 

I have been very brief in speaking of all these different families 
as they are all kindred characters and families. All are good people 
— just as good as one finds in all the land. I have expended my best 
efforts in compiling a complete history of the Hamrick generations, 
yet it is not as complete as I should wish it to be. Then, too, I know 
that mortal man is not perfect, so if you see a mistake in this work do 
not make mockery of that which is intended to be good. Then, too, 
think that the one who has labored so faithfully never went to school 
six months in all his life. It was said that the writer could not get 
up this history, but God being my helper, I am about completing it. 
About ninety per cent of the present generations are Baptists and 
Democrats. We were about to omit mentioning the Turners who are 
concerned in this w^ork. They, too, are among the very best people in 
this country. They are. mostly farmers, honest and upright in all 
their dealings with their f ellowman. 

JSTow we come to speak of the condition of the country at the time 
that these pioneer families came here. There were no white people 
here at that time. Vast tribes of Indians inhabited this section. One 
tribe six miles south of Shelby, near the Frank Young old place, one 
south of Boiling Springs, one near Grassy Pond and one tribe near 
Forest City. So you can see that the future looked very dark for 
these people. Some of the early settlers herein nientioneil were 
killed by savages, some carried off and were never heard of again. 

When the Ilamricks came here they nearly all came in what is 
known as a slide or sled, as such vehicles are called. When they came 
to a river canoes were made of large trees and all of their possessions 
put in these and taken across. Uncle Berry Hamrick said that he saw 
many years afterward some of the sleds that brought them here at his 
grandfather's, Samuel Hamrick's. Wlien these pioneers came here 
they cleared up their lands by cutting out llu; younger growth. This 
was done with a mattock. They killed the large trees. After being 



History of the Hamkick Generations 21 



cleared the land was dug up with a mattock. Afterward they made a 
crude plow stock out of a crooked tree^ as nearly the shape of our 
plow stocks of today as they could make them. Then they had what 
was called a mold board which they fastened to the plow stock and 
made tight with a wedge. With this they plowed their lands. Their 
traces and lines were made of bark as there were no shops of iron in 
this country at that time. Most of them used oxen as the only 
means of draft animals for cultivatins; their lands. Tliev took a 
piece of crooked wood and hewed it out so as to form a yoke, the 
traces were fastened thereto. They worked their oxen from early 
in the niorning until late at night, then they turned them out to 
graze. They brought a little corn with them when they came to 
this country. Some they planted and some they saved for bread. 
Most of the corn gave out before they could make a crop and 
there were two or three months in which they had to go without 
bread. J^aturally they suffered many hardships which to this 
present generation would seem to be unbearable. They killed wild 
game which they ate. They went to work early in the morning 
and worked until about nine o'clock, then ate, then back to their 
work where they remained until about four in the afternoon at which 
time they would eat again. They ate twice a day and only sparingly 
at that. It was about ten years after they came into this country before 
they sowed any wheat as they brought none with them. But about this 
time some people came from Virginia into this section who brought 
wheat. Governed by the Golden Rule^ they divided this wheat, giv- 
ing nearly every one a portion. I^ow they threshed their wheat by 
digging the ground down to the hard clay then took a maul and beat 
the gTOund until it was very hard. Then they drove a post in the mid- 
dle of this hole and put a shaft in the post, then hitched an ox or oxen 
to the shaft. Then the wheat was strown all around and as the oxen 
went around they trod out the wheat. Uncle Berry Hamrick said 
the oxen wiiich were used in treading out the wheat were never muz- 
zled. Tlien they put the wheat into a vessel, two men got hold of a 
sheet and they raised a wind by warping the sheet so as to fan the chaff 
awav. Thev then erround the wheat in what is called a hominv mill 



22 History of the Hamrick Generations 



and sifted it through a single slade cloth. Then the flour was made 
into bread without any soda or shortening. 

The mill was made by taking a large tree and digging out a hopper 
in it about a foot deep and lined it with large headed nails. Then 
they took a large piece of wood and shaped it like a maul. With it 
they beat up the. corn. Also they took another maul very much like 
the first one and fastened a large piece of wood to it, then tied a 
large rock to the other end of the pole, two men pulled up the beater 
and the rock pulled it back down. In this way the corn was ground. 
They also made another sort of mill : This they fastened to limb on a 
tree and the limb helped them to manage the mill. They also used 
still another sort : They took a large tree and dug a trough in one end 
and had a piece about four feet long under the other end. Then 
they turned the water into the trough and when the trough was filled 
with water the other end went downed and poured out the water. 
This made the heavier end come down so hard that it beat up the corn. 
The corn which was finely ground they used for meal and the coarser 
was used for hominy. A picture showing this old hominy mill is re- 
produced in this w'ork. 



FIEST CHUECH 

A period of twenty-one years elapsed after they came into this 
country before there were any church buildings. Buffalo Church 
in York countv, South Carolina, was the first church organized in 
this part of the country. It was organized in the year 17SG. So you 
see these old settlers had no })lace to go to church but nothing daunted 
them. They had meetings in private homes. Joseph Camp was the 
first pastor of Bufl^alo church and James Bridges was the first named 
deacon. His iiiimc is mentioned in this book. Now I will <'(nnc as 
near as I can in describing the old church building. It was about 
forty feet long, twenty-five feet wide and about twelve feet high. The 
cracks were from four to six inches wide and were not daubed with 
mud like their dwclUng houses, but were left open. It had two doors

in it and one window. A door was at each end and the window was in 
the middle just over the "stand." The house was covered with four 
foot boards which were fastened on with wooden pins and then hung 
over the rib poles. Three feet of the boards were exposed. The end 
logs went to the top of the building. The building had a partition in 
the back end and this space was reserved for colored people. The doors 
and windows were hung on wooden hinges and the doors were fastened 
with wooden latches. I show in this book an illustration of this old 
building. "When the people went to church in those days they walked 
back and forth. They usually went to church on Saturday and then 
walked back on Sunday. The women wore home spun dresses made 
of materials which they had carded and spun by hand. Their shoes 
were made of home made leather over a very course last. The heels 
were as large as the shoe was wide. Wlien they went to church the 
women went bare footed and carried their shoes with them. When 
nearing the meeting place they sat down and put on their shoes. The 
church had no chimney so they were kept warm by the fiery discourse 
and arguments of the preacher who warmed up the whole congrega- 
tion, and the fire burned the chaff, for it was salvation by grace alone 
and this always burns the chaff. The people walked from eight to ten 
miles to hear the Gospel in those days and never seemed to get tired. 
The benches in the church were logs split open, one log making two 
benches. In 1789 Sandv Eun church was built verv much on the 
same style as the Buffalo church. The deeds of both these old 
churches were made to the Predestinarian Baptists as one can see by 
the records. 



SLEDS 



Almost everybody knows something about a slide or sled. They 
were made from eight to ten feet long with two runners. The front 
ends were cnrvod so as to run over rough })laces and stumps. Most 
of the slides had standards. Tlic slides, or sleds, were boxed up and 
a whole family could get into one slide, or sled, and go to "preachin' " 
or move from one place to another in them. Old Uncle James Ham- 



History of the Hamrick Geis^erations 25 



rick, "Jeems," as lie was called, would put liis wife and five or six 
children in one of these slides, or sleds, and go to visit "Aunt Polly's" 
father, miles awav. 



THE TEEAD MILL 

In later years they made a pen of rails about four feet high and 
covered it over with rails. When their wheat got ripe they cut it and 
laid it into these pens, then took a hickory pole and beat out the wheat 
and cleaned it in the same manner as before stated. Later they in- 
vented a thresher which had wooden teeth in it. This thresher was 
run by confining a horse in a certain position and the horse kept 
tramping with his fore feet, one foot upon one paddle and one foot 
upon another. By this process they operated the thresher which 
threshed out the wheat. I have seen this done, and still in some 
places they clean the wheat in the manner above stated, that is known 
as the treadmill. 



SAW MILL 



Now in those days they had what they called a whip saw. It was- 
the only kind of saw mill the people had in those days with which to 
saw plank. This saw mill was mounted on a hill side with a scaffold 
built about 10 feet high. They hewed one side of the log and then 
lined it off with a blacking line, the lines just as far apart as they 
wanted the planks sawed. One man stood on the ground and another 
upon the top of the log in order that he might see the lines. The man 
pulled up and another pulled down and in this way the planks were 
sawed. One person sat on the top of the log and drove a wedge in 
behind the saw so as to keep the saw from pinching. I have a finger 
now missing that was cut off by one of these saw mills while tightening 
the wedge. I show a cut of the old whip saw mill in this book. Two 
good men could saw from four to five hundred feet of lumber in a 
day, but it was hard work. 



26 History of the Hamrick Generations 

FUEXITUEE OF THE SETTLEES 

Uncle Berry Hamrick said that many of these old settlers had no 
beds when they came to this country. They got some oak leaves and 
made a bed in one corner of the house. Some had what they called a 
bedstead. It had only one leg or post and it stood out in the middle 
of the room. A hole bored in one side of the house and a hole in the 
bed post and a railing put into these holes ; the other was made the 
same way and slats were laid across the railings, then the bed clothes 
were put on. I have seen many of these old bedsteads in Mitchell and 
Yancey counties in this state. Bed curtains were hung on these beds, 
the curtains hunc from the bed to the floor. 



FLAX 



Xow I will tell you something about raising flax and tlie manner of 
preparing it for cloth. The settlers planted the flax in a low wet 
place and v;hen ripe it was cut and soaked in water for several days. 
Then it was dried and beaten with poles. Next it was put into a 
"break" ; which was made with four slats on the bottom about three 
inches apart and about five feet long with three pieces on top as long 
as the bottom pieces. The top pieces went down through the bottom 
pieces and the flax was laid between them and when they came down 
together they broke up the flax into smaller workable bits. Then a 
paddle about tliree feet long and four inches wide and about one inch 
thick, sharp on both edges like an old fashioned butcher knife was 
used. jSText the flax was taken in one hand and the singling knife in 
the other and the flax was beaten to pieces. Then what was called a 
hackle was used. This hackle was made as follows: A piece uf ])lank 
was used about four feet long and six inches wide, two inches thick 
and about one hundred sharp spikes made out of steel were driven into 
it. These spikes were about six inches long and about two inches 
apart with about four iuclies exposed. The flax was taken and 
slashed witli these sharp spikes until it was cut very fine, following 
that it was spun on wliat is called a flax wheel. An illustration of this 



History of the Hamrick Generations 27 

old fashioned flax wheel is shown in this book. Then the flax was 
woven in a loom and finally made into clothing, both for men and 
women. The flax was never colored, being manufactured in the origi- 
nal color. I have seen many dresses made of the flax cloth, which 
was durable and lasting. 



COTTOIT CULTURE 

In the year 1815 the people began to raise cotton. They planted it 
like corn, covering it with a plow. In a few days they knocked the top 
soil oJf with a board. When the cotton came up a hoe was used and 
one person on one side and another on the other scraped the row from 
one end to the other. They never thought of cutting up a single stalk. 
They were very careful about cutting cotton up. When the cotton 
came up it was about six inches wide across the row. They made 
from two to three hundred pounds of seed cotton to the acre. They 
never used anv manure or anv kind of fertilizer in those davs. After 
the cotton was gathered they picked off every particle of trash and 
picked out the seed with their fingers. ISText they washed the lint as 
clean as they could. Then it was dried, carded and spun. They 
used a reel, what was called a cracking reel : Some of these reels took 
one hundred and twentv threads to make a cut and five cuts made a 
yard. Some had one hundred threads to the cut and it took six 
threads to make a cut. These reels did their own counting and when 
they got a cut they cracked off. This thread was taken and put upon a 
pair of winding blades and it was wound off on spools. Then it was 
warped on a pair of warping bars. Xext the thread was put on the 
beam of the loom, then through the harness and through the sleigh 
and around the small beams of the loom. Then the thread was woven 
into cloth. The cloth was colored and afterward made into clothing. 
A cut is shown of an old loom also the old cracking reel and winding 
blades in this book. 

Some time later what was called a wooden cotton gin was invented. 
This gin was made with two wooden rollers, one on top of the other, 
and as close as they could be. These rollers had a crank on one side 



28 History of the Hamrick Generations 

whicli was turned and one roller turned them both. So the rollers 
ran together and the cotton was fed in between these rollers. The 
seed came out on the same side. 

I have it from Uncle Berry Hamrick that Samuel Hamrick in- 
vented the first wooden roller cotton gin in this country. I will also 
show a cut of the old wooden cotton gin in this book, similar to the 
one exhibited at the museum at Washington. 



WOOLEI^ CLOTH 

Afterward sheep raising was undertaken and woolen goods were 
then made in very much the same way as the cotton goods. The 
woolen goods were always colored with dj'e flowers or walnut bark or 
some kind of coloring. Indigo was raised in those days and the peo- 
ple colored much of their cloth with it A good spinner could card 
and spin a yard of thread a day, which was great speed for those 
days. 

The raising of cotton entailed the use of what was called a hogs- 
head. This was a lar<2:e tree cut down and burned or cut out as thin 
as one could make it. A head was put in one end, the hogshead 
filled with cotton and packed with a press, on the style of an old 
fashioned cider press. Then the other end was planked up and a 
shaft put through the hogshead and shafts to the hogshead. Then a 
horse or oxen was hitched to it and the cargo carried to market at 
Columbia or Charleston, S. C. The tobacco was also carried to mar- 
ket in the same manner. Charleston and Columbia were the only 
markets in those days. 



WAGONS 



The wlieels of the first wagons were made of two pieces of wood, 
about eight inches wide niid throe inches thick and five feet long. 
They were put across one anotlier. The axle tree was put into the 
middle of these pieces and a wooden rim as thick as a large spoke and 



HlSTOKY OF THE HaMRICK GENERATIONS 29 

the rim was fastened to the spokes with wooden pins. I have seen 
many of these old fashioned wagons in the mountains of this state. 

I tell you that the people had a hard time in those days. Just think 
for a moment of leaving father and mother, brother and sister and 
loved ones and going off into a strange unsettled land where no white 
people lived and where you expected to never see your loved ones again 
or hear any more from them in this life, for they never had a postoffice 
away back in those days. The first mail ever carried in the United 
States was in 1804, and the first stamps were used in the year 1847. 
So you, see they never heard from home or loved ones any more lafter 
leaving them. They had no knives or forks, for the first ones manufac- 
tured in America were made in 1814. So they had to make good use 
of their hands in those days. A lot of them made wooden knives, forks, 
spoons and bowls. They also had wooden plates and wooden cups and 
saucers. Some time later they made all these things out of pewter 
and soapstone. 



OTHEE I:NVEKTI0^S 

The first steamship crossed the Atlantic in 1819. It made its trip 
in about forty days. The first printing press made in America was 
in 1814. The first newspaper was published in Boston, Mass., in 
1704. It was the Boston ISTews, April 24th, 1704. This newspaper 
which was very small was printed by hand. The first railroad 
in the United States was in 1828. The first telegraph in 1835. 
The first sewing machine in 1846 w^as invented by Elias Howe. 
The first clock in 1836 was invented by Eli Terry. First electric 
lights in 1844. The first leather ever tanned in the United States 
was in 1795. The first matches were made in 1805 and cost ten 
cents for sixty matches. The first saw mill was in England in 1770. 
The first spinning jinny in 1767. It had only eight spindles. So 
you see that all these first settlers were deprived of every new inven- 
tion that we are now enjoying. 

Back in those early days almost all of the settlers made and used 
whiskey in some way or form. You seldom heard of any one getting 



30 History of the Hamrick Generations 



drunk. The preachers made and used it, also the deacons and church 
members. Xo one ever thought of slighting his brother in the church 
for drinking. I have it from the records that one of the best preachers 
in those days had a still and if he did not make whiskey himself he had 
it done. One Baptist preacher would still till meeting time, then 
go and preach, then back to the still that evening. That has not been 
more than sixty years ago. 

Yes, thev liad fiddling in those days and one of the best preachers 
would go to church and preach and then go l)ack liomo to play his fid- 
dle. He never played such vulgar tunes as they do in these days. The 
fiddle was considered very creditable in those days. 

They had no moiu*ners' bench in those days at the church as the 
first mourners' bench was erected in 1835 by Lorenzo Dowe. I have 
his book and he tells just how he got the mourners' bench started. 
Also the first protracted meeting. He went through this country in 
the year 1835. My mother said that she had heard him preach sev- 
eral times. He tried with all his might to get a stir among the people 
but failed. As he was going along one day near the state line in 
South Carolina he saw a little negro boy blowing an old tin bugle. 
His name was Gabriel. He said that he had never heard the like in 
all his da^'S, that it almost made the hair rise on his head. He asked 
the little negro if he would go witli him and blow the bugle for him. 
He finally persuaded the little negro to go with him. They both went 
on together before time for preaching. He got the negro Gabriel to 
climb the tree in the church yard and stay u\\ in the tree until the 
crowd gathered, and when he heard the preacher come over the name 
''Gabriel" for him to blow the bugle with nil his might. AVhcn the 
preacher began preaching that night he tried with all his might to 
get the people's hearts astir but failed. Tlien Lorenzo Dowe. the 
preacher, came down with his fist on the book board as hard as he 
could and at the same time uttered these words: "And wliat if you 
were to hear Gabriel sound liis mighty trumpet tonight. What would 
you do?" Then the negro Gabriel in the tree sounded his trumpet 
with nil liis might. Tliey came tumbling over each other, both men 



History of the Hameick Geis^erations 31 



and women, both old and young. The hke was never seen. Lorenzo 
Dowe had no trouble the next night in getting people to the mourners' 
bench. 



THE OLD SETTLEES' COURTSHIPS 

Well I will give a few courtships of some of the old Hamricks. 
There was one Moses Hamrick who was going to see Sarah Robertson. 
I suppose thev had the match made up. However, one day Moses 
was ploughing along when all of a sudden he decided that it was as 
good a time for him to get married as he would ever have. He stopped 
his plow, took out his horse and rode him off the field with his old 
clothes on and rode about ten miles over to Isaac Robertson's, the 
father of Sarah. When he got there Sarah was down at the wash 
place and he went on do^\Ti there. When he got there he said, "Sarah 
this is as good a time to marry as we will ever have." "Yes," said 
Sarah, "But where are your clothes ?" Moses says, "I have them on." 
"Well," said Sarah. "If you are ready I am too. Where is the 
preacher?" Then Moses said, "He is up here." They were both 
married in their everv dav clothes. This is no ioke, it is the plain 
truth for there are many witnesses to prove this statement. 

jSTow I will give you the courtship of Old Uncle "Jeames" Hamrick, 
as he was called. This he told me from his own lips. He was going 
to his Uncle Billy McSwains' to see Aunt "Polly" and he said they 
talked of marrying but he was like Ben Purdle, he could not get 
his "blame" mouth off. So he went on in that way for months and 
every time that he would go to Uncle Billy's he would try to get his 
mouth to ffo off but it would not. So one Saturdav evening he went 
again to Uncle Billy's and when he got there there was no one at the 
house but Aunt "Polly," He shook hands with her and as he took 
hold of her hand he says "Polly would you have a body ?" "Why yes, 
Jeames you know I would," This was all of their courtship for they 
were married the next Sunday. I suppose it does not make so much 
difference as to the amount of words used as it does the love 3'ou have 
for one another. I think if there ever was a couple who loved one 



32 History of the Hamkick Generations 

another it was Uncle "Jeaines" and Aunt Polly. I once knew a man 
who went to see a woman twenty years and married her, then killed 
her. A hundred years ago you never heard of any divorces. They 
married in those days for love, but today they seem to marry for the 
fun of it. It has been recently published that forty per cent of the 
people that marry today get a divorce. 

In the old days if a person made a debt the account was put on the 
books and it was good. You can't say that today, for some people 
will sit in the Amen corner, sign a mortgage and then lie awake .that 
night planning how to beat the other fellow out of the money. 

The people back in those days were very poor farmers. They ran 
their rows up and down the hills. You can see some sign. of their 
poor farming today. In a few years they had to clear up another field 
as the other land was washed away. They never valued timber as worth 
anything. There has been enough of good forest timber burnt up and 
destroyed in the field which if we had it today it would build almost 
every house in America. They cut the large pines down and burned 
them up on the ground and let some of them lie and rot. They never 
studied about riches as do the people of today. "When you struck 
them on religious matters they were up-to-date. Oh ! what a change 
has taken place since forty years ago. 



CAPTAIN MAGNESS 

All of Benjamin ]\Iagness' descendants can join the Daughters of 
the Revolution through him. He was a captain in the Revolutionary 
army. He first married Elizabeth Mauney and then later married 
Sarah "Walker. Almost all of the Hamricks were in favor of the 
freedom of this country but there were only a few who took any active 
part, nor were they called upon to do so owing to the sparsely settled 
community. 

Xow I will give a little episode and I suppose it was true. I have 

if from some of the younger set of Hamricks. On one occasion one 

-of the old Hamricks took on n little too much booze and went to his 



History of the Hamkick Generations 33 

brother Billy's and asked him to get up and give him some more 
booze. Bill}- told him plainly that he would not give him any more. 
"You go home you have too much now," said Billy. Asa says, "If you 
don't give me some whiskey I will jump into the well." "Go ahead," 
says Billy. In a few minutes they heard Asa hit the bottom of the 
well. The well was ninety-four feet deep. Billy jumped out to see 
and sure enough Asa was in the well. Then Billv had to tear down 
the beadstead to get ropes to pull Asa out. As they rolled him out 
he said "Eoll, Billy EoU," and about every ten feet "Roll, Billy Eoll." 
So this became a by-word at log rollings. "Roll, Billy roll." At an- 
other time Asa and one of his sons were going along one night. Asa 
had on a little too much booze again. He stepped off into a new well 
about twenty feet deep. His son told him "to stay there" until he 
went home and got some one to help him out. Asa turned a new leaf 
after that and professed a hope in Jesus. I truly hope he is at rest. 

Old Uncle Berrv McDaniel and mv father were working at Elder 
Drury Dobbins.' He set some whiskey on the table and said "Breth- 
ren, if any of you want a little whisky here it is, but don't drink too 
much." Xow this is not mentioned to slander Elder Dobbins but only 
to show the use of whiskv in those davs. I am sure that no one es- 
teemed Elder Dobbins any higher than myself. 

The first person buried at Buffalo Church was a foreigner. He was 
passing the church yard with his gun when he saw a squirrel up one 
of the trees. He shot the squirrel and killed it. It lodged in the 
tree and he climbed up the tree and fell out and he himself was killed. 
They buried him at Buffalo Church in 1787, one year after the church 
was founded. Xo one ever found out the name of this man. I have 
this from old Uncle William Gaston, a member of the Buffalo Church. 
The first jDerson buried at Boiling Springs was Sarah Hamrick, a 
daughter of Reuben Hamrick and wife, Hannah McSwain. She was 
buried in 1806. She was only two years old. The first person buried 
at Bethel was George Hamrick, son of Reuben Hamrick and Hannah 
McSwain. He was buried the 9th of May, 1882. The first person 
buried at Double Springs was Elijah Hamrick, son of William Ham- 
3 



34 History of the Hamrick Generations 

rick and wife, Jane McSwain, on October lOtli, 1881. The first per- 
son buried at Beaver Dam was Hosev Harrell, son of John Harrell 
and wife Susanna Washburn. He was buried April 10th, 1871. 
The first person Imried at Wall's Church was Octavia Bridges, daugh- 
ter of Samuel Bridges and wife, Mary Winbrown, May 1st, 1877. 
So you see the Hamricks were the first in this country and the first 
to be buried at a number of the churches. Warren Hoyle, son of 
Mr. F. L. Hoyle and wife was the first person killed in the European 
war from this county. He is a descendant of George Hamrick, who 
crossed the Atlantic in the year 1731. The Hamrick generations 
lost many people both in the Civil and European War. I had eight 
first cousins killed in one battle in the Civil War. 

In 1881 a day's work brought fifty cents. Today it is worth from 
three to five dollars. Flour in 1881 was five dollars and fifty cents 
a sack. Home killed meat twenty cents a pound ; shoes from two to 
three dollars per pair; a suit of clothes eight to twelve dollars a suit. 

]^ow I will give an example of the high cost of living. Consider 
the automobile and look at the enormous amount of money spent every 
day and night. If we only could keep an account of all the money 
spent for the above and say nothing about fruit stands and vaudeville 
shows and the like, then we would begin to see where the high cost 
of living comes in. I cut cross ties in 1886 for $8.00 a month and ate 
two meals a day. That was only thirty one cents a day, which would 
amount to fifty cents a daj^ with two meals added. Now I have a 
son making thirty two dollars for four and one-half nights' work. 
So I don't see any use of complaining about the high cost of living. 
It all comes from extravagant living. Cotton in 1881 was nine cents 
per pound. In 1919 it was forty cents per pound, over four times as 
much as it was in 1881. Guano was twenty-one dollars per ton; in 
1919 it was sixty-five dollars per ton. 



PUZZLING CONNECTIONS 

Now I will give the readers of this book a few puzzles to work out. 
Since I liave l^een getting u]) tlio Hamrick History I have found five 



History of the Hamrick Gexeratioxs 35 

families tliat had three great grandfathers and all three of them were 
brothers. I have fonnd five families that had three great grandmothers 
and all three of them were sisters. I have found three men whose 
grandfather and great-grandfather were brothers. I have found one 
man who had a first cousin and he and his first cousin's children were 
first cousins. I found one man who was his grandchildren's own uncle. 
I have found three people whose father was their uncle. Now can 
you find out these riddles ? They are all in the Hamrick generations. 
I have found three sons, thev and their father were brothers-in-law 
and vet -thev have sense enough to 2,0 to mill and back bv them- 
selves. 

Xow if you see any families that are not represented in this book 
you may know that they left here many years ago. Elijah Hamrick 
married Milly ]\IcSwain and went "West about seventy-five years ago. 
Hood Jolley and Eichard Hughes both married Hamricks and went 
to Missouri many years ago. Some of the Bridges went West as did 
some of the Harrells. Also some of the Blantons, McSwains and 
Washburns journeyed westward. 

Xow I have made an estimate of Georo-e Hamrick's descendants 
comine- here from Vireinia, and if the twentv-one other children mul- 
tiplied like the three who figure in this book there would be at least 
three hundred and fifteen thousand of these people in one hundred 
and ninetv vears. So vou see that thev are as the sands of the sea. 
Those three who are mentioned in this book have at least fifteen thou- 
sand descendants in one hundred and ninetv-one vears. Records of 
twenty-one children I was unable to get into this work. That looks 
like they are of Abraham's descendants. 

There has been a ereat chang-e in the last fiftv vears. Back then 
when passing a home you could hear the roar of the wheels and the 
cards and if vou should 2:0 in would hear them talkinsj about 
grandfather and grandmother, or some of their relatives. Today 
you will find one-fourth of the people talking politics and worldly 
matters. When you ask these people who was your grandfather or 
grandmother they can't tell you. I have asked many people since 



36 History of the Hamrick Gei^erations 

I began this work who was your grandfather or grandmother and 
they couhl not saj. I asked one grown boy who his mother was before 
she married and lie conld not telL Back in those days the people 
used to visit one another and sit and tell their experiences and how 
they passed from law to grace. Today they are busy telling all about 
their corn and cotton and worldly affairs. You do not hear much 
said about religion, only what "they are doing for the Lord." The 
Bible says that many shall come in that day saying, "Lord, Lord, we 
have prophesied in thy name and in thy name done many wonderful 
works, and in thy name cast out devils," and the Lord shall say, "De- 
part from me for I never knew you." I will let the readers of this book 
judge between now and fifty years ago as to religious matters. Back 
in those days they would sit and tell what great things the Lord had 
done for their souls. I have heard my father and mother tell their 
experiences and then old people would come in and they would sit up 
imtil midnight telling their experiences. Some telling of their loved 
ones gone on before to a better land than this. 



FIEST STORE 

Xow the first store in all this part of the country was near Gaffney, 
S. C, and was owned by Mike Gaffney and another man by the name 
of McCosten. This store was running in 1800. Only a very few 
articles were kept in this small store. 

There was one Charles McSwaiii who was father of a boy about five 
years old. This boy was the reddest haired boy you ever saw. His 
father and mother thought very much of him. One day he went out 
to get something to make a fire and while away the Indians stole him. 
This was about the year 1800. As they thought so much of their red 
haired George they named tlie next boy born George. This boy was 
black haired. In 1812 tlie Indian war broke out and tlicy recaptured 
their son from the Indians. So you see they had two boys named 
George, one red haired and the other black haired. Uncle Berry Ham- 
rick said that he had seen both those boys. Neither of them ever mar- 
ried. Tliov liad a sister named ^^Fariiarct who mari'icil TIkuikis ^Foore. 



History of the Hamrick Generations 37 



You have heard a great deal said about red headed George McSwain, 
this is what o'ave rise to the name. 

There was one of this generation shot at the stake in time of the 
Civil War. His name was George Washington McSwain. He was 
one of the best men in this part of the county and one of the best 
soldiers in the Civil War. He got a letter from home that his wife 
was in a bad state of affairs financially and that she wanted him to 
come home at once. He got a furlough for thirty days and when the 
time was up he failed to go back on account of the conditions at home. 
When thev came after him he was tried bv court-martial and con- 
demned to be shot at the stake. I will give a copy of his last letter 
that he wrote to his dear wife and children. It is very pathetic. 
Charles J. Hamrick and William Jasper Jones were dra^\^l to shoot 
him. Charles J. Hamrick got out by being related to the condemned 
man and McSwain was killed before Jones had fired. They both 
said that George McSwain was one of the best men in their company. 
Whereupon comes the following letter : 

Camp near Orange Court House, Virginia, 
January 3rd, 1864. 

Hannah, Dear Wife and dear Children: — 

It is with painful regret that I have to say to you in way of writing my last 
letter that I ever expect to write in this world to you, as my days are but few 
that I have to spend in this unfriendly world, as I expect to part this life 
next Saturday by sentence of a general court martial to be tied down to a 
stake on that day, the 9th of this month, and shot to death with muskets. 
But little thought I had of this when I volunteered in the service of my 
country to protect my home and family that my life would be taken by my 
own people simply from absenting myself from my post with the view of pro- 
tecting my little helpless children and affectionate wife who are as near and 
dear to me as my own life. Hannah, I was in very good heart and didn't 
think they would shoot me until yesterday morning. My sentence was read 
to me that I had to be shot next Saturday. It washed against me like the 
raging billows against a lonely rock in a sweeping storm, and I carefully 
examined myself and I feel well assured that when I leave the world that I 
will be better off than here. But to my little children and affectionate wife 
may the Lord prepare and fit them to meet me in heaven, for there will be 
no more TDarting of husbands and wives and dear children, but be rest for 
ever. Hannah, dear wife, and dear little children, I never expect to see you 
any more in this life. My prayers are that you will meet me in heaven. Do 
the best vou can, and may God in his mercy rest and remain with you

forever. Dear wife, don't grieve nor trouble after me, for I feel that I am 
going to a better Avorld and be at rest. Then I won't be here to be punished 
any longer. ]My afflictions have been severe, and I feel that I will be better 
off when I leave this world. Tell all my friends farewell for me, and fare- 
well, dear wife, farewell, dear children. Prepare to meet me in heaven. I 
will close by saying, God bless my wife and little children. Farewell.

them that despitefully use and persecute you and say all manner of 
evil against you falsely for my sake. 



History of the Hamrick GEjfERATioisrs 43 



In speaking of a person's faults 

Pray don't forget your own. 
Remember those in homes of glass 

Should seldom throw a stone. 

If we have nothing else to do 

Than talk of those who sin, 
'Tis better to commence at home, 

And from that place begin. 

We have no right to judge a man 
'  Until he's fairly tried; 

Then should we not like his company, 
^f We know the world is wide. 

Some may have faults. Who has none? 

The old as well as young. 
Perhaps we may, for aught we know, 

Have fifty to their one. 

And though I sometimes hope to be 

Xo worse than some I know, 
My own shortcomings bid me let 

The faults of others go. 

Then let us all when we begin 

To slander friend or foe. 
Think of the harm one word may do 

To those we little know. 

Remember, curses sometimes, like 

Our chickens, roost at home; 
Then don't speak evil of others' faults 

Until we have none of our own. 

Oil ! "what a fine lesson is contained in the above piece of poetry if 
every one wonld heed it. 



44 History of the Hameick Generations 



I've no mother now, I'm weeping, 

She has left me here alone; 
She beneath the sod is sleeping; 

Oh! there is no joy at home. 
Tears of sorrow now have parted 

Her bright smiles no more I see; 
All the loved ones too have parted, 

Oh! there is no joy at home. 

Chorus. 

Weeping, lonely, she has left me here; 
Weeping, lonely, for my mother dear. 

She was all this world to father, 

And she loved her children so, 
But she is now at rest with Jesus. 

Oh! I long, I long to go 
Where my mother's singing glory 

And the angels hovering 'round, 
All the saints of every nation. 

Oh! how sweet, how sweet the sound. — Chorus. 

Since my mother left me lonely, 

Death, that awful fiend, has come. 
And has taken from me my father, 

I'm an orphan child alone. 
Oh! when will the storm pass over, 

And the sun shine out again? 
Then I hope to meet my father 

And my mother once again. — Chorus. 

One by one my brothers going 

To a world unknown to me; 
And my sisters too have parted. 

Their bright faces no more I see. 
Time will only tell the story 

When I too will meet them there; 
But I hope and trust in Jesus 

All our troubles will be o'er. — Chorus. 

I'm an orphan now I'm weeping, 

All my dear ones now are gone, 
But I hope the time is coming 

When I'll meet them 'round the throne. 
Won't that be a hapi)y meeting? 

Glory, honor to His name; . 
There will be no more sad parting 

In the new Jerusalem. — Chorus. 

The above was compcsed by S. C. Jones on January 15, 1915, for the 
Hamrick generation. 



History of the Hamkick Genekatioists 45 



I hear the cold winds sweeping, 

Through every vale and tree, 
Where my dear father's sleeping 

Away from home and me. 

Tears from my eyes are falling. 

Deep sorrow shades my brow; 
Cold in the grave he is sleeping, 

I have no father now. 

He was a loving father, 

A friend to all his foes; 
He is now at rest with Jesus, 

Where all good people go. 

Kind friends will cease to greet him, 

For death has paled his brow; 
I want to go and meet him, 

I have no father now. 

I see the darkness hovering 

Around my mother's grave; 
But, oh! that lonesome cottage, 

No mortal one can crave. 

I've thought of my dear mother 

With tears upon my brow; 
For she has gone and left me, 

I have no mother now. 

Sad was the hour of parting; 

She said in words so sweet: 
"My loved ones, now I'm dying, 

In glory we shall meet." 

I hope to meet my parents 

Upon the eternal shore; 
And there we'll dwell together. 

Where parting is no more. 

I had a little brother. 

The idol of my heart; 
But he, too, now is sleeping; 

How sad it is to part. 

The resurrection morning. 

When all the saints shall rise, 
They all shall live with Jesus, 

So far above the skies. 

I had a loving sister, 

To me she was so kind, 
But now I am so lonely. 

For I am left behind. 

But God saw fit to call her; 

Farewell, we all must part, 
And meet dear ones in glory. 

And there no more to part. 

This was composed by S. C. Jones on Marcli 31, 1916, for my dear 
cousin, Fannie Hamrick, Dothan, Ala. It is sung to the old tune of 
"Complainer." 



46 History of the Hameick Generatioists 



One night, while I was all alone, 

A dark and lonesome sigh, 
My time on earth I thought had come, 

And I was bound to die. 
My sins all in a moment rose. 

Like a tumult in the skies; 
I tried the law and no mercy there 

For rebels such as I. 

My mother then began to sing; 

But to a dying man, 
I thought that in a moment I 

Should surely with Him stand. 
To hear my just and certain doom, 

Like a criminal at the bar, 
Pleading for mercy though death be just, 

Lord save, was my desire. 

That night has often come to me, 

Although my mother's gone, 
I still can hear her voice ascend 

The great celestial throne. 
I thought her prayers were then too late 

For this poor sinful man, 
Not knowing then that I had come 

Where every poor sinner must come. 

I don't believe one wants to be 

In such a dreadful state; 
Oh, brethren, sisters, one and all. 

Oh, won't you here relate, 
If it had then been left to you, 

Let the bitter cup pass on. 
And you had been as you were before, 

That you had not been born. 

Ye weary, heavy-laden souls, 

AVho are oppressed, sore; 
Ye travelers through this wilderness 

To Canaan's peaceful shore; 
Come tell me is it thus with you, 

And is my story true? 
For if you are saved, it is by grace. 

There is nothing you can do. 

It was one night upon my bed 

This burden rolled away; 
It's brought my weary, hungry soul 

Up to the present day. 
Oh, what a happy thought is this, 

To hear the sinner tell, 
How Jesus in His mercy has 

Saved his poor soul from hell. 



History of the Hamrick Generations 47 



I started out one summer day, 

I thought a home to find; 
I found a place they called the church, 

It did not ease my mind. 
My troubles then arose anew, 

I then began to search; 
I hoped that Jesus in His love 

Showed me the only church. 

We are often like the lonesome dove. 

That mourns her absent mate; 
From hill to hill, from grove to grove, 

Her woes she doth relate. 
But Canaan just before us lies, 

Sweet spring is coming on; 
A few more beating winds and rains, 

And winter will be gone. 

Oh, for a breeze of heavenly love. 

To waft ray soul away 
To that celestial world above, 

Where pleasures ne'er decay. 
It's far beyond the glittering sun. 

That blissful, heavenly dove, 
I hope to dwell when time is done. 

And praise my God above. 

Oh, who can tell of a lonesome dove, 

While mourning her love to know. 
Her mate is taken away and gone. 

And she is left alone; 
Just so poor sinners sometimes are, 

When Jesus hides His face, 
But when His blessed voice they hear, 

"My child you are saved by grace." 

The above was composed by S. C. Jones, July 12, 1876, on his experi- 
ence. 



48 HiSTOKY OF THE HaMRICK GejSTERATIONS 



In slumbering sleep I lay 

One night upon my bed, 
A vision very strange 

Or a thought came to my head; 
I dreamed of the day of doom, 

And doubtless it had come. 
And Christ Himself was there 

To summons old and young. 

And I myself was called, 

"With trumpets loud and shrill. 
Saying, "Every soul must rise, 

Be their sentence good or ill." 
With fear I trembling stood. 

And little did I know, 
But I knew Christ's mercy's great, 

And I trusted and did go. 

I had not been there long 

Before old Satan came, 
Dressed up in his filthy robe. 

And my sins he brought along; 
He laid them before the Lord, 

And said I was his own. 
My sins being full and great. 

For 'twas many I had done. 

Then said our blessed Lord, 

"I soon will end the strife, 
I'll see if the sinner's name 

Is not in the book of life." 
The book of life was brought. 

And many leaves unfold, 
And the sinner's name was there, 

And the letters written in gold. 

Then said our blessed Lord, 

"Oh, stay, old Satan, stay. 
For the sinner's name is here. 

And his sins are washed away." 
Then murmuring Satan stood 

All in a dismal plight. 
And said unto the Lord, 

"Your indictments are not right." 

Then said our blessed Lord, 

"Oh, why, old Satan, why? 
Satan, you know right well 

For poor sinners I did die. 
I died to redeem my bride. 

Who once was lost by thee, 
And to save all faithful souls 

That do put their trust in me." 



History of the Hamrick Generations 49 



THE GOSPEL CHURCH 

Well, wife, I've found the model church, 

And worshipped there today; 
It made me think of good old times 

Before my hair was gray. 
The meeting house was finer built 

Than they were years ago; 
But then I found when I went in 

It was not built for show. 

The sexton did not sit me down 

Away back by the door; 
He knew that I was old and deaf, 

And saw that I was poor. 
He must have been a Christian man, 

He led me boldly through 
The crowded aisle of that grand church 

To find a pleasant pew. 

You should have heard that singing, wife, 

It had the old-time ring; 
The preacher said with trumpet voice, 

"Let all the people sing." 
Old Coronation was the tune, 

The music upward rolled, 
Until I thought the angel choir 

Struck all their harps of gold. 

My deafness seemed to melt away. 

My spirit caught the fire, 
I joined my feeble, trembling voice 

With that melodious choir; 
And sang as in my youthful days, 

"Let angels prostrate fall; 
Bring forth the royal diadem, 

And crown him Lord of all." 

I tell you, wife, it did me good 

To sing that hymn once more; 
I felt like some wrecked mariner 

W^ho gets a glimpse of shore. 
I almost want to lay aside 

This weather-beaten form. 
And anchor in the blessed port 

Forever from the storm. 

'Twas not a flowery sermon, wife. 

But simple gospel truth; 
It fitted humble men like me. 

It suited hopeful youth. 
To win the sin-sick souls to Christ 

The earnest preacher tried, 
He preached not of li^mself or creed, 

But Jesus crucified. 

Dear wife, the toil will soon be o'er, 

The victory soon be won. 
The shining land is just ahead. 

Our race is nearly run. 
We are nearing Canaan's happy shore, 

Our home so bright and fair; 
Thank God we'll never sin again, 

There'll be no sorrow there.

66 History of the Hamrick Generations 

Parenthetically, I remind that the first General Assembly ever 
held in Xorth Carolina — so authentic history states — was in Pas- 
quotank County, North Carolina, near Nixonton, under a giant 
oak tree, on the left hand side of the road. It is interesting to 
note that one of the by-laws of tliat Assembly admonished that 
"all members should wear shoes, if not stockings, during the sessions 
of the body, and they must refrain from throwing chicken and other 
bones under the tree." We would that we were given time to specu- 
late on the deliberations of that early body ; suffice it to say, however, 
that the inspiration of the giant oak and the freedom of the expansive 
open must have suggested to the pioneer legislators the sturdiness 
and freedom of government given us today. The little "acorn" 
legislature held there in that distant day has grown into the great 
law-tree of today.
